Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the big brown horse outside the courtyard. After turning Shen Que's name over and over in her mind several times, she suddenly had a vague guess.

Since Shen Que was born to General Shen, he must not have been willing to let his father die like that, and he might avenge him one day...

But with Shen Que's strength alone, he would definitely not be able to defeat the group of jackals, tigers and leopards in the court, and the final outcome can be imagined.

——It is understandable that Jiang Yu returned to his official career.

As if to test his suspicions, Jiang Xiaoxiao pretended to be innocent and asked: "Uncle Zhou, why did Master Shen come to our small Yong'an County to be the county captain? His father is a general. This is too much. Has it insulted his identity?"

"Little girl, you don't understand." Shopkeeper Zhou seemed to be amused by her words and reached out to touch her head, "Since General Shen's accident, the Holy One has always felt guilty towards the two Shen brothers. As long as Master Shen... If he opened his mouth, he would definitely be given the title of marquis, but the young master said that these rewards would only bring him death, so he simply took the position of county captain. Although the official position was small, he could live comfortably for the rest of his life... …”

At the end of the sentence, Shopkeeper Zhou couldn't help but smile: "Look at me, why are I telling you this? You are only five years old and you don't understand the partisan political battles in the court."

Jiang Xiaoxiao also smiled in confusion, but her heart was like a mirror, it was just as she had guessed.

The position of County Lieutenant should be just a cover. In the eyes of outsiders, Shen is indeed useless. He can only be a County Lieutenant in this small Yong'an County for the rest of his life. He will never get ahead, but in fact, he is secretly plotting his own. Plan it...

But think about it, it must have happened in the past few years.

Jiang Xiaoxiao raised her little face and asked again: "Uncle Zhou, how old is the county captain this year?"

"Twenty-five..." Shopkeeper Zhou replied subconsciously.

He is already twenty-five years old...

Jiang Xiaoxiao pondered for a while. Jiang Yu was probably seventeen years old now. Judging from the time when he passed the exam and died tragically in prison when he was in his twenties, Shen Ye should be around two or three years later...

Jiang Xiaoxiao collected her thoughts and asked again: "Then...does he have a wife?"

"What kind of wife will you marry?" Shopkeeper Zhou, who has a motherly personality, sighed, "Master Shen grew up in a military camp. His head was always pinned to his waist pocket. Which girl would dare to get engaged to him..."

Every generation of men in the Shen family will be sent to the military for training when they are around six or seven years old, and they have already been on the battlefield by the age of twelve or thirteen.

If General Shen hadn't gone, Shen Que would probably have been lying drunk on the battlefield, stationed at the border, and never returned to Beijing for the rest of his life.

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded when he heard the words, and he saw it, otherwise no one would carry a knife on his waist all day long.

When she first met him, she was still curious. Most people in the county government wore swords, so why did he have a sword on his body that was different from others.

Now she understands that only those who have truly experienced battlefield killings are accustomed to using knives. Swords are light and suitable for those who show off their skills and embroider their legs. Shen does belong to the type of person who licks blood with the tip of the knife. Only by using a knife can he show his true potential. Strength.

"Hey, no, why are you asking about Master Shen?" Shopkeeper Zhou reacted belatedly. He glanced in the direction of the cellar, seemed to understand something, and said in disbelief: "Is it possible that you want your mother to …”

"No, no, no, shopkeeper Zhou, you misunderstood!" Jiang Xiaoxiao waved her hands repeatedly, "I'm just curious." She might have had this idea in the past, but now she knows that Shen Que may be... in the next two or three years... What about her? Dare you let your own mother suffer such a crime?

What does it mean that Shen Que has not married a wife at his age? It means that he may have had a foretelling in his heart. He knew that he would not be peaceful for the rest of his life, so he would no longer delay a girl from a good family.

While talking, Jiang Yu climbed up from the cellar. When he saw the two chatting, he walked over and asked, "What are you two talking about?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly took over the words: "We are talking about Brother Jiang, you are so powerful. You have such a big industry as Fu'an Trading Company at such a young age!"

Jiang Yu smiled: "Those are all properties left by my father, I just took them over and took care of them."

"Brother Jiang, you are too humble..."

As someone who has read the original work, she knows that Fu'an Trading Company gradually grew so big under Jiang Yu's hands. Almost half of the Jiang family's wealth and connections all over the country were accumulated by Jiang Yu over many years of doing business. down.

"Okay, stop complimenting me. How can you, a young girl like you, learn the tricks of an old fritter?" Jiang Yu sat down at the table and took a sip of the tea on the table.

Shopkeeper Zhou told Jiang Xiaoxiao so many past events at once, and his heart was a little heavy at the moment. Looking at Jiang Yu's young and careless appearance, he felt his heart ached, and he simply stood up and walked towards the carriage: "Master, take a rest first. , I’ll go take a look at the goods.”

Jiang Yu propped up his chin and leaned lazily on the chair. He glanced at the shabby medical book on the table and couldn't help but said, "Why do you still keep this shabby book? Do you really like it so much?"

"Haha, my family doesn't have money to buy new ones." Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed dryly, touched the medical book with her little hand and hid it behind her back.

Although her mother brought her many thick medical books from the space, she still couldn't bear to throw away this medical book she bought from the study.

She changed the subject: "Brother Jiang, when will you leave for the capital?"

"It's probably just a day or two." Jiang Yu glanced at her, his eyes lightly scanning the medical books in her arms, "When I return to the capital, I will bring you a few good books from my library, and the shabby book will be there for you." Throw it away."

"Are you leaving so soon?" Jiang Xiaoxiao was a little reluctant.

"What do you think?" Jiang Yu tapped her forehead with his finger, "Your ice cream and ice cream are easy to make, so you have to rush to the capital day and night... By the way, do you want to go to the capital with me to visit?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head like a rattle: "No, I want to stay with my mother, so I don't want to go so far away."

"The capital is not far from us. Let's go by boat. It's very fast. We can use the power of wind and water to reach the capital in more than ten days." Jiang Yu followed the temptation and said, "I'll take you back after a few days. Do you want to go together?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao said: "Brother Jiang, if you have to transport these goods to the capital by ship, wouldn't you have to go with the Sun family..."

"What are you thinking about? How could I take the Sun family's ship?" Jiang Yu interrupted her, "The Sun family is not the only one with merchant ships in these huge Yong'an and Qingping counties. Don't worry, this batch of goods will be transported. I have already contacted the merchant ship."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was silent.

Also, Fu'an Trading Company's industries are spread all over the country, and the waterway has a large carrying capacity and is convenient and fast. There will definitely be no shortage of extremely important means of transportation such as ships.
